Guest Speakers from Joshua Ministries
Touching
Lives Beyond the Walls
By inviting a
speaker from Joshua Ministries, your event will not only gain an
element of deep spiritual reflection but will also stir a movement
towards active faith—a faith that steps out into the world to bring
hope and light to the darkest of places. Let us join you in kindling
this flame of compassionate service within your congregation.
At Joshua Ministries, we understand that the heart of transformation
lies in the compelling stories of grace and restoration. Our
outreach ministers carry with them a treasure trove of real-life
testimonies, powerful insights, and an infectious zeal for service
to those in the margins of society—the homeless, the incarcerated,
and the forgotten elderly. By inviting one of our speakers to your
church, banquet, or special event, you are opening the doors to a
profound experience that goes beyond mere words.
Features and Benefits
Inspiration Through Experience: Our speakers bring
firsthand experiences of love in action. They share not just the
challenges but the joy found in ministering to people from all walks
of life. This isn't just about outreach; it's about enriching your
congregation with the lived gospel, stirring hearts to compassionate
action.
Empathy and Connection: Hearing about the struggles
and victories of those living on the streets or within prison walls
fosters a deeper empathy and connection within your church body.
These stories can break down barriers, build understanding, and
inspire a hands-on approach to ministry.
Biblical Teaching: Our speakers root their messages
in Scripture, equipping your congregation with biblical truths about
serving others. They provide practical, Bible-based teaching on how
to effectively reach out to those in need, underlining the fact that
ministry to the downtrodden is not optional—it's a mandate from
Christ Himself.
Spiritual Growth: Encountering the realities of
others' hardships often spurs personal and corporate spiritual
growth. When a church body unites around the mission of helping the
needy, they grow closer to the heart of God and each other,
cultivating a spirit of unity and love.
A Call to Action: Every session is an invitation to
action. It's an opportunity for your church to step into the calling
of Isaiah 1:17, which urges us to "learn to do good; seek justice,
correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the
widow's cause." The result is a church not only informed but
transformed, energized to make a tangible difference in the
community and beyond.
Scriptural Foundations
We lean on the truth of Scripture that calls us to a life of
service:
Proverbs 31:8-9 - Speak up for those who cannot
speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.
Matthew 25:35-40 - For I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in...
Luke 14:13-14 - But when you give a banquet, invite
the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be
blessed.
Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ.
James 1:27 - Religion that God our Father accepts
as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in
their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
